Email Scammers Target World Cup 2010

Are you tired of spammers Opromising that you’ll “love her long time”? Or that you’ve won the Irish lottery? Or the promise of a date with a fat 40 year old slob of a dude named Alexis you know you’ll never have? Me too. Spammers need another, more creative gimmick. Apparently they agree and have taken to sports largest arena, offering the chance to be robbed at gun point and/or murdered take in the world’s greatest sports spectacle – or something – in return for the keys to the safety deposit box.

The email is real tricky to decipher, being pimped by Bill Gate and all.

“The scam message even tells the recipient that they must keep the given ‘winning information’ confidential until they have received their prize as a precautionary measure to avoid double claiming and unwarranted abuse,” said Labiano.

The emails ask you to send confidential information such as name, address, telephone number and age to a ‘claim agent’.

Though the message seems to have been through a spell-checker, there are several clues that it isn’t a genuine email.

“This Lottery was promoted and sponsored by some multinational companies as including Bill Gate, and some other EU governments, to promote South Africans 2010 Worldcup Award [sic],” the email reads.

Wait, so you’re telling me someone from Africa is going to ask me for secure information and/or money? No fucking way!
